CHAPTER 6  

The sky was dark, from all the bombs in the air. Every minute more and more patients...were brought in. "Nurse! Get in here!" screamed the doctor. "I'm coming!" yelled Elaine. "This patient...is going to die here...but I want you to keep him comfortable. It'll be a matter of days before he days..but just talk to him." said the doctor. "Alright..I'll give him morphine to keep him calm as well." siad Elaine. She hated seeing people die...but she loved to help them recover..that is why she had become a nurse. "I'm Nurse McWaley, but you can call me Elaine." she said as she smiled. "Well, hello. I'm..my name..is Peter." he said. "Hello, it's very nice to meet you, Peter. I'm just going to give you a bit of morphine." she said. "Don't. I'm going to die aren't I??" he asked sadly. "Of course not! Morphine will help, you trust me." she said. Peter smiled softly, though he knew Elaine was lying.

"Rafe..I love you so much...Please, be careful." sobbed Evelyn. Rafe had volunteered to fight. He was leaving today. "Take care of yourself buddy." Danny said. "I will, don't you two worry about me..I will come back. I love you both. I just hope my little sister..is okay." said Rafe. "Who cares about her? I care about you only." said Evelyn. "hey, now, she's my little sister and I love her. DOn't worry about me, I love you." he said as he kissed her softly. Then he got, on the train. Danny adn Evelyn watched in fear as he had drove off.

On the way home, Danny had thought about Elaine. He had thought about how much he missed her. She hadn't written a letter to him in so long. He had wondered if something was wrong, but he remembered her words"I'll come back" and a smile came onto his face.
